STEVE MARRINER<\/strong> Canada\u2019s Youngest Juno Nominee ever. Jim has won a number of Blues Awards, Music Awards and Maple Blues Awards.<\/p>\n \u201cI played with him at this big festival in Canada called \u2018Nakusp.\u2019 He\u2019s got a great feel. He reminds me of Paul Kossoff [Free], who we sadly lost all those years ago. He\u2019s almost the spitting image of him which is incredible.\u201d\u2026Paul Rodgers, leader of Free, Bad Company, singer for Queen and The Paul Rodgers Band<\/p>\n \u201cGreat Guitar playing with a lot of feeling and expression in all styles from ZZ Top inspired Blues\/ Rock to Peter Green, his country \u201cfinger pickin\u201d or Power Rock.\u201d\u2026Guitar Magazine<\/p>\n \u201cHe plays in the top league with Peter Green, Stevie Ray Vaughan or Jeff Healey\u201d\u2026Breakout Magazine, Germany<\/p>\n The potential for big success is existing and Blues\/Rock is in need for flesh blood\u201d\u2026Slam Magazine, Germany<\/p>\n \u201cBowskill has developed into one of this country\u2019s most versatile roots and blues musicians. Not only is he a gifted guitar player, but he is equally as comfortable on the mandolin and fiddle (as well as other instruments, I don\u2019t let him near the piano!). Did I mention he sings like a bird as well? What a talent!\u201d\u2026Lance Anderson, Juno Award Winning producer, keyboardist and associate of Oscar Peterson.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019ve known Jimmy since he appeared busking out front of Healey\u2019s and Jeff invited him in to play with us. He was 11 years old and already sounding great I\u2019ve had the pleasure of his friendship and playing on the same stage many times. Over the years it\u2019s been great watching him grow up and see his musical abilities expand over time. Great guy and musician. I look forward to sharing the guitar spotlight with him again in the future.\u201d\u2026Pat Rush, Electric Guitar and Slide Guitarist with Johnny Winter<\/p>\n STEVE MARRINER<\/strong> Rate: $70<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
